APDS-9930 Digital Proximity and Ambient Light Sensor

Introduction

Integrated modules with the APDS-9930 are available from diymore. The APDS-9960 sensor based modules are available from both sparkfun and adafruit.

I can not find any vendor offering the APDS-9930 in Sweden, neither the sensor nor as a module.

I got my APDS-9930 modules for Banggood.com.

The APDS-9960 are more widely available, but at significantly higher costs compared to the diymore module with the APDS-9930 sensor. The sparkfun version available at elfa.se is around 17 USD. Getting 10 units Banggood.com reduces the price per item to 2.5 USD, still almost double the price of the APDS-9930 module at Banggood.com.
